During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Michele explained how she's handled the last several months since Monteith's drug overdose.

"My mom has experienced a lot of loss in her life and she told me at one point, there is an empowerment that comes with grief—at some point you find it. I think at a certain point you can choose to sort of fall from this or you can choose to rise. And that's why I'm just trying to do my best for him, because I know that that's what he would have wanted," she said. "He would want me to live my life."
